Brief introduction of scenic spots in Dayuwan Folk Village;
Dayuwan Folk Village is an ancient village group with Wuyuan residential style. It was founded in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and preserved dozens of stone houses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The little-known Wuhan Dayuwan finally stood out from many villages and towns in China in June 5438+this year 10, and was approved by the Ministry of Construction and National Cultural Heritage Administration as the second batch of famous Chinese historical and cultural villages.
Wuyuan, Jiangxi is my hometown.
Dayu Bay, located in the northwest corner of huangpi district, Wuhan, belongs to the famous Mulan Scenic Area, about 40 kilometers away from downtown Wuhan. When I came here, I saw the ancient houses in Ming and Qing Dynasties lying at the foot of the mountain. In Shi Zhuan, all the ancient houses are carved eaves with black tiles, and bluestone roads meander through them. At first glance, it will give people the illusion of being in Wuyuan, Jiangxi.
Dayuwan and Wuyuan are indeed in the same strain. According to 70-year-old Yu Chuansheng who lives at the head of the village, the ancestors of this bay belong to a big family named Yu. Yu's Genealogy was first recorded in the second year of Hongwu (1369). When Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to move to Jiangxi and Hunan in the early Ming Dynasty, Yu Hongwu moved from Wuyuan and Dexing in Jiangxi. I chose to settle here because I thought this bay was an extremely rare treasure trove of geomantic omen.
There is a local folk song: the turtle in front is facing the Beidou, the gourd in the back is made of gold thread, and there is a map of the North Pole in the middle. Looking north from Shuanggui Mountain in front of the village, we can see seven granite blocks with different shapes and colors arranged like the Big Dipper not far away. The road leading to the Taoist temple of Mulan Mountain behind the village is like a golden thread, strung a gourd-shaped mountain peak; A pond in the village is connected with the ridge of the field, which is a vivid Tai Chi map.
Over the past 600 years, Yu's family, who has established a family here, has produced many important figures, among which there is the saying that three generations have produced ministers.
Every family has several antiques.
Strolling along the Qingshiban Road, stone piers, ancient wells, mottled wooden pavilions and murals under the eaves of ancient houses can be seen everywhere. In the big mill at the east end of the village, there stands a big stone mill with the words of the 22nd anniversary of Jiaqing engraved on it. The wrinkles honed by wind and rain seem to be singing an old song of the years.
It seems that the layout and specifications, materials and technology of the ancient house are exactly the same. In fact, it was not achieved overnight, but passed down from generation to generation according to unified standards. It is said that the ancient house in Dayu Bay originally had four groups 100 houses, and each group had a yard. Most quadrangles have four deep rooms and three wide rooms, and some have patios, courtyards, transfer buildings, halls and back rooms, but only more than 40 rooms remain.
In these ancient houses, if you walk into any one, you will find several antiques, such as an old plush chair, a beautifully carved drum skin screen, and even a yellow thread-bound book can be dug up from the bookshelf. If you cross the aisle, you can still see the spinning wheel handed down by several generations of daughter-in-law. Shake it and maybe it will turn. In many families in the village, you can see ancient combs, heavy stone inkstones, ancient scales, ancient buckets, blue and white porcelain and pastel porcelain. If you are interested, you can play with it in your hand.
What is even more surprising is the woodcarving bed of the villagers at home. It is said that after expert research, this bed was built in the Ming Dynasty, which has been more than 500 years since. This bed is 2.5m long and1.5m wide. Divided into zenith and sleeper. There are dragons, phoenixes and Eight Immortals carved around the zenith, and all kinds of flowers, birds, insects and fish are carved on the bedstead of the sleeper. Today, this bed is still strong enough to bear the weight of 1000 kg. According to Xu Shaoliang, the village head, the cultural relic value of this bed was discovered 1 1 years ago by an eco-tourism investigation group composed of experts from eight countries including the United States, Germany and Denmark. At that time, they saw an ancient bed in another villager's house, and everyone was full of praise. Some people say that the extra bed is better. When they saw the bed, experts said it was a rare cultural relic. After taking photos on the spot and collecting information, they judged that it has a history of at least 500 years, and it is made of extremely precious mahogany, especially with superb carving skills, which is beyond the reach of ordinary carved furniture. I told the author that several foreigners have come here to see it. If they want to buy it at a high price, I just don't agree, because selling it will be sorry for our ancestors. If the government wants it, I will donate it for free.
There is a custom of drying books in the village.
Yu Yongqi, 72, retired from Huangpi Cinema and returned to the village. He consulted a large number of historical materials in the district library and determined that his ancestors were famous pianists and doctors in Jin State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Yu's genealogy also records the eaves painting of "Mountains and Rivers Seeking Companions".
Whether the people in Dayuwan are descendants of Yu Boya is not mentioned for the time being, but it is worth mentioning that there is a gentle wind in the village. People love piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, advocate farming and reading, and many people can recite ancient poems. Every slack season, people in the village always get together to sing social operas and play dragon lanterns. Especially at the end of the year, the village is boiling. Every household sticks couplets and sets off firecrackers. Every household will set off 10,000 firecrackers whenever the singing and dancing dragon lanterns pass by the door with drums and gongs. After that, the whip marks on the bluestone board in front of the door are thicker than the sole board.
There is also a custom in Dayuwan that no other village has, that is, every household should expose their ancient books and paintings in the sun every rainy season to prevent mildew. When a book, a painting and a page are placed in front of the door, the alley is yellow and the scene is spectacular, and the whole village is full of books.
In the collection of these villagers, there is no lack of Yue Fei's handwriting. The elders in the village said that Yue Fei led his troops through here, leaving a lot of warrants and letters, and the number was so large that almost every family had treasures, which were extremely precious cultural relics.
